Assessment of tsunami risk to offshore platforms in Indonesia archipelago

Abstract

Abstract Earthquakes are unpredictable natural disasters that need to be taken into serious consideration in the design criteria of offshore platforms, particularly in regions of high seismicity. The Indonesia Archipelago is characterized by extensive zones of seismic activity where large earthquakes can be extremely dangerous to the safety and reliable performance of offshore platforms. Tsunamis generated by the larger earthquakes in the region present an additional extreme danger to offshore oil production and need to be assessed and considered in the design criteria of offshore platforms.
